CHAPTER 2 : Psychological Factors
2.11 Modifying the imageA compensatory trick of the brain: if the eyes see something that is almost like a known pattern, then the brain can modify the image so that it is recognized as the original known pattern. Similarly, the brain will insert missing items or remove extraneous items from a known sequence. How often have you glanced at someone, and thought that you recognized them - until you took a closer look. This usually occurs in a situation where you are not looking for differences, and where the differences may be quite small. Similarly, in programming, it is very easy to mistake a name or layout for one which is almost the same. In particular, if the first usage is well established, then this second usage will easily be confused with the first.
